China Town

And to do this, "rich lady" Lisa has invested 20,000 baht (about 13 million VND) for each business store to support early closure and keep information confidential until the day the tearer MV is released.

The surge in tourist arrivals has brought many economic benefits to China Town Bangkok. Although BangKok is currently in the rainy season and tourists should be limited to the fun experience at this time. However, with the current China Town fever, rain and storms are not a problem, tourists from all over the world still come to the crowd. Along with that, the shops, restaurants and tourist services here are all like in the silver rush season.

It can be said that after Rockstar, the already busy and bustling street like Chinatown will be even more crowded.

In addition to New World Shopping Center, Chinatown, MV Rockstar also made an impression in the hearts of the audience by other unique places.

The Oscar Cinema, Petchburi Soi 39 Street

Another interesting place in Lisa's MV is the appearance of the Oscar Cinema, located in the Oscar shopping center, Soi Phetchaburi 39, Phetchaburi Street. In the past, the Oscar Cinema was a bustling venue as a bustling center from the old days, but today it has also become an abandoned area, only open for rental of filming locations. Therefore, there are still many people who visit this area to take photos and videos, not to mention that there are also many street eateries in front of the building, or delicious food carts.
